I love Valentine's Day for many reasons. The main colors are red and pink {my favorites!}, chocolate and candy are the traditional gifts {my ultimate favorites!}, and most of all because it's about celebrating love! Love for family, friends, furry friends, or a special someone. Make sure to give hugs, kisses, high fives and handshakes today!

This is kind of a strange Valentine's Day because Matthew and I aren't celebrating it together. If you read my post last week, or are following me on Twitter, you know that I'm in Las Vegas for work. Not the most romantic city, I have to say! I'm sad to be missing our first married couple Valentine's Day, but I'm glad it's not our anniversary. I'm getting in tomorrow evening so we're going to have a belated celebration! I'm thinking Italian food and chocolate--there's nothing better!

I'm actually jealous that you're in Vegas. All my friends are there for the companies they work for and I'm super jealous! They go every years to the gift shows and conventions and I totally wish I could also.

Hi mara! you look SO pretty :) this dress is absolutely gorgeous and those balloons are such a cute prop! I must use more props in my shoots too :) Hope you see Matthew again soon. I'm celebrating alone too :) xo Nikki

actually, Las Vegas was just rated the #1 romantic city! I personally dont find it romantic either though, haha. although i guess with a city of endless booze it can GET romantic if you've had enough drinks ;)

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm surprised that Ruche has you guys working today considering how much they've been talking about Valentine's Day on their blog and facebook page. I assumed everyone would have the day off! :) Hope you and Matthew have a wonderful belated celebration!

Your outfit is lovely! I love the dress and necklace together - an incredibly feminine and romantic look today!

My bf and I are also not spending Valentine's Day together - he's operating (save lives or make it to dinner?) and I'm working late at the office, but we decided to make our Friday night date extra special (cheesy movie of my choice!). It's those moments, and not the rush to the market to grab a bouquet of roses, that make any day, Valentine's Day.

Love your outfit - especially those shoes! My bf and I are celebrating vday tonight since he was out of town for work. We're having Italian and chocolate as well ;) Hope you had a wonderful post vday celebration!
